Great holiday
Excellent as always.
Yet again Dennis and his team have been excellent in sorting everything out for us including a last minute special meal booking for the flight.
The arrangements for the flight and hotel transfer and stay were excellent. We liked the personal care you gave us.
Fantastic experience booking our honeymoon. Dylan was very helpful and helped us to book the perfect holiday. Everything went smoothly and we will definitely be using DialAflight again
Staff listen to customer needs and wants, excellent service. I've booked many times and never been disappointed
Excellent service. Used the currency converter on the DialAFlight app all the time!
Thank you for the usual highest quality service
Jenson always goes above and beyond. We followed his recommendation and were not disappointed. The Maldives were amazing, the island and accommodation beautiful. Thank you, we will be in touch soon to book our next adventure
Isla was absolutely amazing help and the holiday was perfect
Darryll brilliant as always
I spoke with Sarah Hole regarding my honeymoon in December - we had to make changes several times. She was easy to get hold of, very flexible and patient. We had a fantastic honeymoon and found all our dealings with DialAFlight easy and professional.
Alway great service from Marshall Finnimore
DialAFlight staff are very competent. Will do business again and will recommend your services to others
As always great service especially from John Huff
You always deliver. We had another trouble free holiday.
As ever, superb customer service, app great, info provided great and kept in touch. Will always use you for my trips
Mona and Zac were excellent
Great service, advice, updates and booking was very easy over the phone!
We can't thank you guys enough (John Huff, take a bow!) for everything. Your organisation and overall professionalism was second to none. If I could give 6 stars I would.
Reece is always so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.
Well done Ralph. 5 Stars
As always Peter Smith was fantastic .. with initial quote/service and follow up making sure our long awaited trip was seamless
There were worries and difficulties arranging and booking tee times. When speaking with a different DialAFlight person I was told this was not something DialAFlight normally did, which was disappointing to hear. This is the second year in a row we have used DialAFlight. In general everything worked out well, but there are times that it got a bit stressful. I would consider using DialAFlight again, but not necessarily as my first choice.
Everything went to plan including the transfers. The hotel room was superb and I would also definitely recommend the hotel. Here's to the next holiday!
Always a great service with every detail covered. DialAFlight is our first choice
We always enjoy working with Tristan. He is friendly and very knowledgeable about flights!
Really pleased with the help and support I had from Rudi from initial booking through to contact before travel - always responded quickly as promised which is rare these days.
Had a fantastic holiday, thanks very much Gavin. Everything went very smoothly and the hotel you chose was excellent. All the people who helped us were also brilliant especially the taxi firm you organised in Mauritius - we went on three additional trips with them.
Another exceptional experience with the team - thank you so much. Absolutely brilliant
Not every beach resort has a yoga instructress who once was Miss Paris. 'Hear the birds and feel the breeze on your skin,' says Isabelle Lamant.
It's 8.15am at the Constance Prince Maurice hotel on Mauritius's east coast, and a British trio is responding to Isabelle's Gallic-accented directions with varying success. One is curving flawlessly into position — while two of us exhibit the flexibility of flagpoles caught in a gale.
But what a gorgeous start to the day — the sponginess of the broad-bladed grass beneath our feet, the sun already hot.
Inspired by her love of graceful movement, her classes are based around her philosophy of balance and fitness. As well as being a former Miss Paris, she has a background in gymnastics and classical dance, which she has since combined with intensive yoga and pilates training. She explains: ‘My sessions allow guests to tone up, as well as learning how to relax tense muscles and weak joints.'
Each session is apparently designed to show how guests can integrate exercises into their daily routine for 'a more healthy, balanced lifestyle' when they return home - I will try to remember!
Isabelle has even designed a fun-filled program for younger guests, with an accent on posture. And just to stay competitive, Isabelle has also trained contestants for Miss France and Miss Tourism International in Malaysia.
Thirty yards away, amid banyan trees, palms, cinnamon and hibiscus, the hotel's Doric columns rise upwards, supporting a roof thatched with reeds of sugar cane. Another 50 yards and white sand is washed by the warm water of a lagoon, which opens onto the Indian Ocean. Twin terraces encase an infinity pool.
Although just an hour's drive from the airport, through fields of cane and villages speckled with stalls of vanilla and spices, the hotel's 60 acres, carved from a former sugar plantation, are entirely insulated from reality. By day two, it seems normal to be on the beach ordering Madagascar crab, followed by a chocolate fondant.
It's an appropriate reward, surely, for a dip during which a pick-handle barracuda has been identified, along with four-saddle grouper, threadfin butterfly fish, scissor tail sergeant and convict surgeon fish — the latter's silver flanks scored with black lines like the bars of a prison cell.
This sudden piscatorial expertise is the result of rifling through a Field Guide To Coastal Fishes Of Mauritius, produced by Fabrice, head-man in the marine hut, from where he co-ordinates water-skiing from my remedial wobble to 007 standard.
Along from the hut, the lagoon narrows and there's a roped walkway through a canopy of mangrove. As dusk falls, this is starrily lit, delineating the path towards a floating bar and restaurant — a Hollywood touch for guests emerging from their villas, many of which stand on stilts.
I can see only one discernible trophy wife, attached to a chap with a Jason Statham scowl - and a very un-Statham paunch. Perhaps he's here for the golf.
There are two 18-hole courses, and it's on the Links that Alexandre, the French pro, provides conclusive proof that, at the Prince Maurice, pretty well anything is possible.
He explains that visualisation is the key and, to demonstrate, he instructs me, a complete novice, to close my eyes — then swing. Miraculously, the ball stops a couple of yards from the pin.
Yet even that is eclipsed in the spa, where I submit my feet to Franck for a pedicure. He flicks on an instrument whose howl suggests impending amputation.
But no, it's a nail machine. An hour and a gallon of Sisley products later, and Franck announces: 'New feet.' Good enough, even, to be paraded at open-air yoga.
